About Me

My photo
After many years in aviation as a corporate pilot, the Good Lord has guided me on a career path I never saw myself taking. As it was so elegantly put in the movie Top Gun, I now literally find myself "flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog #$@! out of Hong Kong"! Ah, but this is not just any cargo plane...it is currently one of the largest, longest range, most technologically advanced cargo planes in the world...the Boeing 777F!

Sharm el Sheikh for a couple nights

Finally, after 7 months of being based in Cairo for an owner who regularly travels to Sharm el Sheikh, we got a 2 night trip there. Of course, a week later both my FO & I are taking our families there on vacation…can’t wait. Sharm, located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is said to be one of the best places in the world for scuba diving & snorkeling.

Just north of Sharm is Mount Sinai (location where Moses received the 10 Commandments) & at the base of the trail to the summit is St. Catherine’s Monastery (said location of the Burning Bush where Moses was instructed by God to lead Israel out of Egypt). Hopefully we can visit these sites on vacation next week.

Snorkeling just beyond the beach at our hotel.





Along shores of Naama Bay...beach is to the left, just beyond the outdoor resturants.

Walking through town in the morning, near Naama Bay. Things don't really get busy here till late in the evening & continue well after I'm in bed :)
